Why are you heating hot water?

obviously to power his steam engines...

One of my good friends and mentor types in my career may have just been busted embezzling funds from a not-for-profit conference organization. He was busted by another good friend and mentor. This blows.

my crazy ex had two guys with a flatbed tow truck remove a vehicle from my property today without my consent...they basically came onto my property and stole the car. the cops say they won't do anything about it because we co-own the vehicle. i'm waiting to see what my lawyer says. in the meantime i parked my truck where it'll be almost impossible to tow it and locked it down with The Club. she's pulling these increasingly aggressive and bizarre legal and extra-legal provocations...i think it's going to backfire because she may have just given me the reason i needed to seek an emergency stay and ex parte hearing.

I have 2 checks from work that have both bounced. I haven't been paid in 4 weeks. I'm contemplating calling them and telling them I'm not working till I get paid.

i can hardly wait to see what she comes up with next weekend for my birthday.

it's starting to get ridiculous, but noone is laughing... i'l keep my fingers crossed for you, hope you'll show her "dubkitty ain't nothin' to fuck with"

i'm walking a fine line, because i can't do anything that's going to get me busted...e.g. i didn't go and attempt to interfere with the guys who were hauling the car away because if i get in a fight with them there's two of them and one of me, and they can say anything they want to the cops and back each other up and i'm in jail. the cooler i stay as she pushes it farther and farther, the better it's gonna be for me when i go to court as well. i'm going to get up tomorrow and get chain and padlocks to block off the driveway so nobody can get in to take away the truck. but yeah, this has gone so far beyond ridiculous by now that it's just stupid. she's got to have something else to do with her weekends...jeez, go to the library or rent a movie or something

but no matter what she does, bitch still ain't getting my kitty. even if, as i said to Dan on the phone today, i got 99 problems and a bitch is 87 of them.

I just found out tonight that my ex that I can't seem to get over, and who never gave me the courtesy to not end thing on a cliff hanger has been going out on dates regularly with one of my best friends. i dont even know what to type, maybe there should be a "numb" thread. and I almost had a break from reality and for some reason I can't remember 2 hours of my night.

winning!

Dunno how many fans of The Who we got here, but, I absolutely LOVE Live at Leeds. When they released the CD version, they took the "Tommy" performance and put it on its own disk, and had all the other songs on the first disk. HOWEVER, when the concert was actually performed, they did Tommy in between "A Quick One" and "Summertime Blues." And being the nerd I am, I actually went in and edited my mp3s to play just like the concert, in correct order, with the fades and the bits of dialogue on the tracks in the format already present on the album.


..I lost that folder and have to redo it. :ragefest:

For once I'd like to feel like I belong somewhere.

Getting out of Utah will probably help.

More general (though lodged in the specific): I hate people who learned just enough philosophy and/or rhetoric that they think they're smart. Not getting all elitist here--I've definitely been the dumbest guy in the room before--but those people sincerely piss me off.

i wish i could feel like i belonged somewhere again. in the early 90s, when i was married to my second wife, i was really happy. i worked temp doing desktop publishing work making more money than i'd ever made in my life and lived out in the avenues in San Francisco, just across Fulton from Golden Gate Park. there was a nice little shopping district a block away with a coffee shop, a dry cleaners, a hardware store, a pizza place, etc. I used to ride my mountain bike in the park every day. and we were so great together then, so in love, so connected. it's the only time in my life other than when i was a tiny child that i truly felt like i had a home. but i was depressive and untreated, and my wife wound up on coke, and we drifted apart in a horrible series of mistakes and failures that i don't think i'll ever get over. that was over fifteen years ago, and it still brings tears to my eyes to even type about it. even though i lived with the woman from whom i just split for ten years, it didn't break me nearly as much as losing Lee though we were together only for five. that was when i stopped believing in the future, and since then i've had to resort to determination and stubbornness and the meager comforts of faith to keep going. i try and i work, but i don't believe that anything i do, however grand, will work out...no matter how delicious, it'll all turn to ashes in my mouth before i can swallow.
